Poor Mexico Barbie. She just wants to teach girls “about the culture, traditions and ancestral dress of Mexico,” according to her online description. Little did she know her two possessions, a passport and a Chihuahua, would stir up an argument over cultural diversity.

Mexico Barbie is among several of Mattel's “Dolls of the World,” each dressed in clothing considered traditional to various countries around the world.
